Tangela (Japanese: モンジャラ Monjara) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Tangrowth when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)
Biology
Tangela is a plant Pokémon covered by blue, seaweed-like vines that obscure its face. There is a small opening in the vines that reveals its eyes surrounded by a black space. The vines give Tangela a round shape, but it is unknown what it looks like without them. Its vines are covered in fine hair and are always growing. If damaged or lost, replacements are grown. There is a pair of red boot-like feet poking out from under the vines, but no visible arms.
Tangela can ensnare and entangle anything that moves too close to it with its vines. The vines constantly jiggle and sway, unnerving enemies and causing a tickling sensation if ensnared. Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, so it can quickly escape. The vines of Tangela are said to have a refreshing flavor and scent. In Galar, its vines are used as herbs. Tangela can usually be found in temperate grasslands, and has been known to swing on tree branches using its vines.
Evolution
Tangela evolves into Tangrowth.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a name derived from the Greek mythological character Medusa.
Origin
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under its vines, it may be based on the swamp monster from the short story "It!" by Theodore Sturgeon. In addition, it may also be inspired by the Sargassum seaweed monsters written by the English writer William Hope Hodgson, which inspired monsters in Japanese pop culture.
It may also be based on Selaginella lepidophylla, a plant that forms tumbleweeds; and Medusa, a gorgon of Greek mythology. In addition, it may be based on a Green Man, a motif represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines.
Its Pokédex entries state that its vines will be entangled with its surroundings. This may be a reference to thigmotropism, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.
Name origin
Tangela may be a combination of tangle and -ella (suffix used to form taxonomic names).
Monjara may be a combination of monster, もじゃもじゃ mojamoja (shaggy or unkempt), and 毛むくじゃら kemukujara (densely covered in thick hair).
